In which placentation are ovules located along the central axis and the ovary is not divided into locules?

• A. Parietal Placentation
• B. Free Central Placentation
• C. Basal Placentation
• D. Axile Placentation

Answer: (B)

This question tests how placentation describes where ovules attach inside the ovary and whether the ovary is divided into locules. In free central placentation, a central column of placental tissue forms inside the ovary and ovules are borne along this central axis. The ovary remains unilocular because there are no septa dividing it into multiple compartments. So the description of ovules along the central axis with no locule division matches free central placentation. By contrast, axile placentation involves ovules arranged on a central axis within a multi-loculated ovary, parietal places ovules on the inner wall, and basal places them at the base of the ovary.
